Why does it hurt so much when, for example a friend or what you thought a friend refrains from sharing with you those significant moments in their lives? Whether it was intentional or not doesn't matter. It hurts just the same.
How I wish I wasn't relational.
Father Tom always used to talk about being in relation as a pathway to intimacy with Jesus, but opening yourself up to that kind of intimacy leaves you vulnerable doesn't it? You can get hurt, especially a woman. Men are more shielded aren't they? By nature, they have to go outside of themselves to discover what it is to be a woman. It's external to him, but for a woman, her intimate space gets invaded. She touches on what it is to be a man only from deep within her. She's vulnerable.
